Pocket square holds are stylish accessories that can bring your

folding style. Find out how to fold a pocket square for any
occasion.

Presidential Pocket Fold

Well known as the straight fold, this is the simplest way to fold a
pocket square, with a great look for formal attire. Simply fold the
pocket square in half, then fold one side up, depending on the
depth of your pocket, leaving 1/4 inch visible. Try it with a
monochrome or subtle pocket square, like the Armani Collezioni Pocket Square (Saks).

One Point Fold

Also called the one tip up fold, this is a very versatile style.
Fold one corner to get two overlapping triangles, then fold each of
the sides over it. Give it a shot with a simple monochrome pocket
square like the Turnbull & Asser Contrast Trim Pocket Square
(Bloomingdale's).

Two Point Pocket Fold

A two point fold or two tips up is a more stylish option for pocket
square folds, suited more for a smart casual suit than for formal
attire. Fold one side of the pocket square to get to triangles that
overlap, but not completely, with one tip higher than the other.
Fold the sides over it and you're done. Use this type of pocket
square fold with a more ornate accessory, like the Salvatore Ferragamo Micro Linked Gancini
Pocket Square (Bloomingdale's).

Three Point Fold

Suited both to formal and more casual attire, the three point fold
or crown fold starts out the same way, with two triangles that
partially overlap. Instead of folding both sides downward, fold one
upwards to create the three tips up look and finish with the other
side. Try the Forzieri Dark Green Silk Pocket Square
for the most stylish look.

Four Point Fold

A great option for casual blazers, the four point fold or four
mountains is creating by pinching the center of the pocket square
and lifting it up. Fold the top part and you get 4 tips on the
lower part. Give it a try with a monochromatic pocket square or a
trendier option like the Polo Ralph Lauren Silk Pocket Square (Saks).

Puff Fold

The puff fold is created the same way as the four point fold,
except you don't need well defined tips and you can get a messier
look. Use it for patterned pocket squares like the Etro Blue/Mandarin Patterned Silk Pocket Square
(StyleBop).
